LYRICS

"The silence of the reason in all its simple fashion is the freedom of expression in all its simple notions

as its making to the wishing it falls into fruition as its calling back to what you feel for.

Hear the vision of the season in all its playful teasing as it lingers in the motion swirling around the ocean

as it frees itself forever and grabs a new perceiver as it comes back baby what you say for now.

We gonna take it uptown, and then we'll move at all around and put it back to where, yeah...

You know it's gonna be a smooth time, you know it's just a good time.

Yeah, we're gonna have a good time baby. It's gonna have a good time now. Gonna have a smooth time sugar. You know its just a good time now..."

 

"The where with all the fooling is the folly of the peaceful, that's keeping out the ruling and staking out the motion

of the coming through the trapping of the hearts that keep on clapping and see whatever therefore.

In the vastness of the little the hardness is so brittle, as everyone can take of it and see a little movement

as it's coming through the portal see the killer of mortal thoughts that seem to linger but are gone.

You see we've known it along, it's only just a song that puts it back to where, yeah...

You know we're gonna have a good time, it's gonna be a good time.

Yeah, we're gonna have a smooth time baby. Gonna have a good time now. Gonna have a smooth time sugar, Gonna have a good time now..."

In the four bar intro, the piano plays two rolling arpeggios that establish the mood and tonal center of the work. The rich baritone vocal then enters and delivers its introspectively philosophical message. Eight bars later, the groove jumps to double time, and the ride cymbal begins playing near the bell. After this section, the groove goes back to regular time and stays there for twelve bars as a clever sequence of modulatory chords is presented at the end of this section as a new tonal center a half-step higher is established. The chorus then follows in double time and then sets up a modulation to return to the original tonal center. The entire form then repeats twice and ends.

This piece is about smoothness. It directly associates the concept of "smooth" with the idea of "good." Some of the more colorful lyrical passages are deliberately obscure so that they may be perceived by different individuals in different ways. This artistic work is also an example of how a song should not be taken too seriously because (as the lyrics clearly specify) it's only just a song.
